Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 3 The Curse
"It's over there, look."

"Which side?"

"Beside the redhead."

"The one with the glasses?"

"Did you see his face?"

"See that scar on him?"

Early the next morning, when Kyle was eating in the auditorium, all he heard was whispers like this,

Groups of small animals walked up and down in front of Potter's seat, all pretending to be passing by,

Looking at Kyle, he couldn't complain anymore. There are five or six children, and he has passed by Potter more than ten times inadvertently.

And they passed by inadvertently together.

Regardless of the disturbances in the school, Kyle started his own learning journey.

To be honest, in the past three years, Kyle devoted all his energy to the part that can improve his actual combat ability.

Using boring trainees time and time again to pile up the current strength,

The consequence is that Kyle's background is seriously insufficient, and the research on magic theory is seriously lagging behind.

Of course, this is actually a normal situation for little wizards,
Only wizards who have reached senior grades or engaged in research in related fields after graduation,
Only then will we go deep into the theory of magic, and study the internal connection and composition principle between the magic spells.

But for Kyle, this is unbearable. Appreciating the brilliance of magic is something that countless people in the previous life yearned for but could not get.
After traveling once, how can Kyle just taste it, know it but don't know why.

As Professor Flitwick dismissed the get out of class, the little snake and the Ravenclaw eaglets who attended the class filed out,

Kyle, who stayed at the end, walked towards the professor. The little snakes in the same grade looked back and left silently.

"Son, what's the matter?" Professor Flitwick asked with a smile.

In fact, Kyle knows that some professors in the school are wary of him.
After all, the image of his single-minded pursuit of strength is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even some professors should be well aware of his black magic.

It's normal for Slytherin students to learn the dark arts,
But generally they are relatively simple cutting spells and the like, and what Kyle has mastered can be described as secret.

But this view is being improved, especially the professors of the three courses of spells, ancient rune, and alchemy,

Kyle has been in close contact with them since the third grade break.

"Professor, it's still about the flying spell that I communicated with you before."

I did find the ancient flying spell in the "Encyclopedia of Ancient Magic" you recommended, and did some research. "

"There is no doubt that there is a connection between the ancient flying spells and the modern flying spells,

But professor, I don't understand why there is such a big difference between the two.

The highlight of modern flying mantras is speed,
The ancient flying mantra emphasized stability and duration.

What's even more amazing is that the rune structures of the two are almost exactly the same. "

Kyle said with disbelief.

"Calm down, Kyle, calm down."

Professor Flitwick waved his hand and motioned for Kyle to sit down, and he sat in the front seat.

"Kyle, I'm very glad that you can seriously study the boring and uninteresting things like rune structure,
To be honest, this was a bit beyond my expectations.

I'm sure you've realized that magic is more than just chanting spells and waving a wand.
This is just his outward appearance. "

"Spells, gestures, are the external manifestations of magic, not the core,

These are just for beginners to better guide the magic, so as to release it and complete the magic.

When you know enough about a spell and have enough ability to drive it, then you can try silent casting.

But enough understanding is really difficult for most people to achieve. "

Professor Flitwick's expression became more and more pleasant,
Apparently, a student who delved into the mysteries of magic was quite appreciated by the professor.

"Then professor, what does it mean to know enough,

What does this have to do with the rune structure of the flying spell?
You know, I haven't done much research on this in previous years,

I had to spend more time applying magic.

And with practice, I obviously didn't get enough of what you said,
But it can also cast spells silently, why is that?Have you formed an instinct?"

Kyle already had a vague idea about this, and when he heard the professor's arrangement, he really felt a sense of enlightenment.But then, more problems popped up.

"Don't worry, the secrets of magic are endless, and if you want to cultivate them deeply, you can't rush for quick success.

You are right, the silent spell does not need to understand magic research to release it, after unremitting practice, it can be done by practicing the operation of magic power into one's own instinct. "

"Kyle, as you said, the rune structure of ancient flying spells and modern flying spells is almost the same, because their main body is flying,
The difference is the control part of magic.

The ancient flying spell was mainly used for long-distance traveling.

So apart from the flight control part, the rest of the control runes are more about stability and duration.

Get longer flight distance with less magic power.

In modern times, due to the popularization of Apparition, Floo Network and Portkey, flying is no longer used for traveling.

It is more used for short-distance movement in places where apparation is not possible.

So more emphasis on speed.

If you want to delve deeper, it's better to compare the differences between the two spells.

Can help you better understand these two spells. "

"Thank you, Professor, I think I know what to study next." Kyle said thoughtfully
After leaving the Charms classroom, Kyle headed into the library.

Professor Flitwick's theory confirmed Kyle's conjecture, and also clarified Kyle's next research direction.

Since obtaining a stable living environment in Slytherin, Kyle has been conducting research in this area.

Flying spell, flying spell, flying broomstick, magic carpet, these things that can cause flying effects, Kyle has studied them all,
Even if the current knowledge reserve can't study it thoroughly, I still have a general understanding of its operating principle.

The reason for studying these stems from Kyle's persistence in his previous life.

The only and favorite entertainment of Kyle in his previous life was playing DND-oriented games such as Warcraft and Neverwinter.

When he really traveled to the magical world and gained a firm foothold.

While looking at the magic of the magic world, compared with the game world in my memory, I always feel that there is less of a legend, and more of applying magic to life.

If all kinds of equipment, artifacts, magic towers, and even floating cities in the game can be copied to this world, what kind of brilliance will they bloom?
Come to the magical world for a walk, how can you not leave something behind.

With such an idea in mind, Kyle started his own research, and already had a preliminary idea for the construction of the floating city.
